The new Load Balancer is also working pretty stable so if anyone wants to test it, just use http://boincwapstats.sourceforge.net/counter.php?[Options] (like on any other server), or create a URL with the URL-generator.

apart from a new version of the script (4.5), I'm also proud to announce the official start of the boincwapstats Load Balancer. It consists of special URLs at sourceforge.net which will automatically select a mirror for you so that all mirrors are used equally and downtimes are really seldom.
You may get your new URL by using the URL-generator or by simlply replacing your old server (for example http://petrus.homeftp.org/bws/) with http://boincwapstats.sourceforge.net/
A list of all mirrors can be found here. Please note that after a new version of boincwapstats, the LB will only consist of rather few mirrors until they upgrade to the newer version.

I'm planning to also update the documentation on the homepage in order to add the LB there, too. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, by email or in the support forum.

Just finished version 4.6, this adds 2 new display modes for the summary, an Adminarea and of course a lot of bugfixes.
See changelog for details. Mod developers should consider upgrading cause the Adminarea makes it much easier to manage the installation. All others should have a look at the new styles, they should be choosable in the generator soon:

The left one is right-aligned and the right one is an example of the "small summary". You may also combine these 2 options.

I just wanted to bump this thread, as there seems to be problems currently with some of the servers (like Petrus' own). So, people, check out the load balancer feature to be sure you get response on your stat box.

Yes that's true :( There should only have been an outage of some minutes last week, but the network cable got damaged... I'll try to fix that this week!

The LB will run fine most of the time, but there is a small chance that my server gets elected as mirror (1/18 of all requests), then of course the image won't be generated.

Is it possible to let the Load Balancer try just those servers which are responding? I mean, test for timeout and flag it as temporarily disabled?

Keep up the good work! :)

In fact there is a script that checks that every 3 hours, but it is located on my server, too ;)___<br>
